Opening Files From VB

[RohanP]

Hi There,

I have created an application which show list of files in a listbox

eg:-

ListBox Values
D:\File1.doc
D:\File1.xls
D:\File1.mdb
D:\File1.pdf


I want my app to open selected file on click of a button.

if user select value 1 then file1.doc should open with its associated program i.e. MS-Word. In case of file1.xls file should open with Excel.

How can do that

Help will be appriaciated
